Objective To study the effects of static magnetic field (SMF) on development of rat embryonic spinal cord neurons. Methods Primary cultured embryonic spinal cord neurons of Wistar rat were exposed to 1.0, 10.0, 50.0, 100.0 and 200.0 mT static magnetic field. The morphological structure, cell's differentiation and proliferation of the embryonic spinal cord neurons were observed and the contents of MDA, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and protein contents in the neurons were determined. Results Static magnetic field at density of 50-200.0 mT could inhibit the differentiation and proliferation of the cells and the phenomena such as cell aggregation, detouchment of some cells, decrease of clone-formation rate and the size of the cells were observed. The contents of MDA in the cells were increased, while the activities of SOD and the level of protein were decreased. Conclusion Static magnetic field might damage the development of embryonic spinal cord neurons by enhancing the lipid peroxidation.

Objective To examine the proportion and reasons of drop-out from antiretroviral therapy(ART)among 8 367 adult HIV-infected individuals in Dehong prefecture,Yunnan province. Methods All adult HIV-infected patients receiving ART before September 30 of 2014 were examined for the situation of drop-out from ART. Results The proportion of drop-out from ART among adult HIV-infected patients in Dehong prefecture was 14.4%(1 202/8 367). Results from the univariate logistic regression analyses indicated that drop-out from ART was significantly correlated with factors as:living area,gender,age,marital status,HIV transmission route,baseline CD4+T cell counts and initial treatment regimen of the patients. After adjusted for potential confounding variables by multiple logistic regression model,drop-out from ART was significantly correlated with residential area,marital status,HIV transmission route,baseline CD4+T cell count and initial treatment regimen of the patients. HIV-infected patients who were living in Mangshi city,Lianghe county or Yingjiang county,being married or living with partner,HIV infection through sexual contact,with baseline CD4+T cell counts≤200 cells/mm3,and ART included in the initial treatment regimen etc.,were less likely to drop out from ART. The proportion of drop out from ART was significantly decreasing along with the increasing time of ART. Data from specific investigation revealed that among the 1 202 patients who dropped out from ART,704(58.6%)were lost to follow-up,303(25.2%) did not adhere to treatment,74(6.2%)moved out the region,64(5.3%)were Burmese that had returned to Burma,29 (2.4%) stopped the treatment according to doctors’advice,18(1.5%)were incarcerated and 10 (0.8%) were under other reasons. Reasons for the drop-out varied,according to the situation of patients. Conclusion The proportion of drop-out from ART varied significantly according to the characteristics of HIV-infected patients in Dehong prefecture that underscoring the needs for tailored responses to reduce drop-out of ART. Focus should be targeted on reducing the loss to follow-up and improving the treatment adherence.

Objective:To assess the effect of stone and urine bacteria culture on the treatment of postoperative infection in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).Methods:Between September 2016 and September 2018, 1060 patients with kidney stones treated with first-stage PCNL were included in the study. There were 614 male and 446 female patients, with the mean age (52.4±12.2) years. The mean stone burden was (1 499.6±1 435.3) mm 2. The midstream urine sample and the stone sample were sent for bacterial culture, identification of bacterial strain and antimicrobial susceptibility tests. The results of urine culture (UC), stone culture (SC) and their antimicrobial susceptibility, the details of perioperatively administered antibiotics and postoperative infections were recorded. The relationship between the postoperative infection and the SC was analyzed. Results:In 1 060 patients, 22 bacterial species were identified in UC and 52 bacterial species were identified in SC. The positive rate was higher in SC than in UC[31.8%(337/1 060)vs. 20.9%(222/1 060), P<0.001]. Escherichia coli was the most common bacteria in both UC and SC, but was more prevalent in UC than in SC [52.3%(116/222)vs. 43.6%(147/337), P<0.05]. E. coli cultured from UC and SC had high resistance to ampicillin, cefazolin, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin (all resistance rate >40%), but were sensitive to meropenem, cefoperazone/sulbactam, piperacillin/tazobactam, and amikacin (all resistance rate <10%). There was no statistical difference in the antibiotic resistance rates of E. coli from the UC and SC (all P >0.05). There were 111 (10.5%) patients who developed fever and 22 (2.1%) who developed urosepsis postoperatively. The incidences of postoperative fever and urosepsis were higher in the patients with positive SC than the patients with negative SC [23.7%(80/337)vs. 4.3%(31/723); 4.2%(14/337)vs. 1.1%(8/723), P<0.05]. Even in patients with negative UC, The incidence of postoperative fever was higher in the group with positive SC than the group with negative SC [17.9%(30/168) vs. 4.2%(28/670), P<0.05]. The incidence of postoperative fever in SC positive patients was lower if they were treated with sensitive antibiotics to the bacteria in stone than those treated with nonsensitive antibiotics [17.5%(22/126) vs. 27.5%(58/211), P<0.05]. Conclusions:The SC had high rate of culture positive, complicated bacterial species and high rate of multi-drug resistant. Positive SC was associated with increased incidence of postoperative infection even if the patients had negative UC. The SC might have a importance clinical value in the treatment of postoperative infection in PCNL.
